Amped Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Well, coming hot on the heels of the Robin short...this one looks to be more than what the average 'fan' has coin to produce. WORLD’S FINEST is also produced by Sandy Collora, who brought us the Batman: Dead End short. http://www.superherohype.com/superman/index.php?id=1769 http://www.jimbowers.biz/Collora_WF.htm Keep in mind these guys are professionals in the industry. These amount to fairly decent-budgeted self-promo pieces. Nonetheless, should be interesting to see the final product! Quote
Amped Posted July 23, 2004 Author Posted July 23, 2004 ...and lest ya'll think it's only gonna have heroes... Lex Luthor too!!! Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Wow, that's toit like a toiger!! hehe, Can't wait to see the trailer! That makes a good superman. It'd be cool if they can cast him in the new superman movie. Quote

BoBe-Patt Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 In OTHER news....wtf? Neil Gaiman's Death : High Cost Of Living is gonna be a live action adaptation? Sweet!http://www.superherohype.com/index.php?id=1774 wow, really? I wonder who's gonna play her. And it sounds like it's gonna be one of those hilary duff type of movies. Or at least some kinda teen comedy/romance type of movie. Quote
bigkid24 Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Here's one example of a comic book movie I think really should get made! I don't think I ever got all of the issues of the series so I guess I'll just wait for the movie. ( I think I've been using too many smilies lately.) Quote
Southpaw Samurai Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Caught this off fanfilms.com. Not bad. Definitely has the same 'professional' feel as Dead End had. Still think I prefer Grayson, but that may just be because I'm not much of a Superman fan. Grayson (until the Justice League cameos) felt like it WAS a trailer for a movie that actually had some meat to it. While World's Finest definitely has a story (as opposed to Dead End's empty visual feast), it still feels too much like a mash of imagery...heck, it appears like a good chunk of the entire Lois/Clark relationship would take place in this film if it was the whole movie. Still, I would rather pay either creator $8 to watch their under <10 minute shorts than pay the same money to WB to watch 90 minutes of Catwoman or Jack Black's Green Lantern... Quote
Amped Posted July 23, 2004 Author Posted July 23, 2004 Check out the final trailer here... http://www.capedwonder.com/Collora.htm http://theforce.net/theater/nonsw/worldsfinest/ ...not bad!!! Quote
Drad Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Interesting. I always thought Mike O'Hearn (that's the guy playing Superman in the pic) would've made a good Superman, at least physically. But can he act? He's a martial artist and bodybuilder.. not an actor. Quote
Ladic Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 It was good, but after watching the Grayson film, this one just didn't look as good. Quote
Jin_Kune_Do Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Wasnt there also a fan-film about "Robin",from what i heard, apparently the story is about Robin avenging Batman´s death. Anyone heard of it? -Jin Quote
baronv Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 I hope they play this tomorrow night along with Grayson at SD Comic-Con before the Masquerade contest like they did Batman: Dead End last year. Quote
Mellow Yellow Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Wasnt there also a fan-film about "Robin",from what i heard, apparently the story is about Robin avenging Batman´s death. Anyone heard of it?-Jin Yeah, it's called "Grayson". Here's the thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=9696 Quote
Agent ONE Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Interesting. I always thought Mike O'Hearn (that's the guy playing Superman in the pic) would've made a good Superman, at least physically. But can he act? He's a martial artist and bodybuilder.. not an actor. I dunno... He did a movie called "Barbarian" but I can't find it to rent. Quote
Jin_Kune_Do Posted July 24, 2004 Posted July 24, 2004 Thanks Mellow Yellow "Greyson" is pretty good...it has the right feeling. Can anyone recomend any other good fan films? -Jin Quote
Agent ONE Posted July 24, 2004 Posted July 24, 2004 Thanks Mellow Yellow "Greyson" is pretty good...it has the right feeling. Can anyone recomend any other good fan films? -Jin You need to see 'Party at Kitty and Stud's' Quote
JRock Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 Cool. They got Clark Bartram to reprise his role! I like this Superman better than the Superman in the Grayson short. The costume looks more professional than the Party City halloween costume on Grayson. And look at the "S". It looks more like the "S" in the 70's/80's Superman movies than any other live action version of Superman. Nice Touch. Quote
KingNor Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 i thought the grason superman looked better, tough, stoic. more old school. the guy in worlds finest, definatly looks the part as well, but he goes more the rout of "sexy hunk" superman. just my opinion, i liked grason-supes better. the gritty batman kicks butt, but a few of the shots are kinda weird. why does he jump up on the dinner table in that one scene? unless that was in the middle of a fight or something, that seemed like kinda an odd thing for batman to do. anyway, good stuff, better than the last couple hollywood superhero movies i've seen.
